Hyndburn Park School
I have noticed that there are threads for most schools in and arround Accrington - yet there isn't one for Hyndburn Park School. I didn't attend there but a number of friends did in the early '50s - football matches at lunchtime on the rec, firework fights leading up to 5 November - all in good spirits.
Is there anyone around whowent there during that period?
Regards,
Barrie

Re: Hyndburn Park School
My cousin used to live on Park Road in the 50s Barry although he didn't go to Hyndburn Park School, but I can remember playing football on the Rec and messing about on Nelsons Square and Gatty and Milnshaw Park

Re: Hyndburn Park School
As you know,Barrie, I was in the junior school until 1952. If I can work out how I'll put the photo I sent you on here-I know you know one of the people on it! Unless you know how to do it?-I mean put a photo up!
AccyGirl must have been 4 years behind me.

Hi AngleIron.....
I wonder if we are the same age...as you mention leaving Hollins in 1969...
I was born 1945..and went to Hyndburn Park from about 1949 to 1957....leaving at the end of the first year in the seniors...........do you have any pictures from those days?
